Lydbrook call for 90th celebrations

The Lydbrook Band is looking to meet up with plenty of former players to help celebrate their 90th birthday.

Lydbrook logo
 

The Lydbrook Band is celebrating its 90th anniversary this year and has already marked the occasion with a number of high profile concerts, the recording a CD under the baton of Tom Davoren and extensive fundraising activity for their forthcoming tour to Barcelona in October.

Former players

However, they hope to mark the exact date with a call to all former Lydbrook members and players to join them for their 21st September re-union concert, as well as a special re-union lunch organised for the next day at the plush Forest Hills Golf Club in Coleford.

Interested

Any past members who are interested in taking part in the re-union weekend are asked to contact Band Secretary Robert Morgan by email robertmorgan4@hotmail.co.uk or telephone 01594 860944.
